Customizing colors
 

Hi!

I've used the following code to change the cell color.

Sub dfghrth()

ActiveCell.Interior.Color = RGB(221, 255, 221)

End Sub



But instead of actually changing to the color I've defined, it changes
to a pallette default color...

Help anyone?

Customizing colors
 

A worksheet can only display 56 predefined colors (the palette).

You will need to redefine the palette to provide the colors you need or you
will get the behavior you describe.

A posible workaround is to use a shape/autoshape instead of a cell as these
can display more simultaneous colors.

You have to change the pallette, Excel has no more than 56 colors to work
with:

If ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex 2 Then _
ActiveWorkbook.Colors(ActiveCell.Interior.ColorInd ex) = _
RGB(221, 255, 221)

HTH. Best wishes Harald
